Tibetan Healing Fund Board Members and some of the THF trustees designed a new organizational structure for THF in order to function effectively and effectively and disseminate tasks and responsibilities after Dr. Kunchok Gyaltsen returned to Tibet in 2010. From 2010 to present, THF Board Members decided to have a smaller group of Board Members to oversee that THF is fulfilling its mission.
The Leadership Team is led by the US-Team Chair and functions to accomplish two major work tasks: US administrative management and fundraising.

In-Country Team:
Tibetan Healing Fund has an exceptional group of volunteers and advisors based in mSo-Ngon Province (Ch: Qinghai) of experienced local ethnic Tibetans. This group plans, implements, monitors and evaluates projects. These Tibetans understand with intimate detail the situation in rural villages having grown up in similar circumstances. The advisory committee is in close contact with people at the village level and this information is used to assist the projects.
Our partnerships include many local organizations, businesses, a Tibetan university, hospitals, education and health bureaus.
